Abstract
Pes calcaneovalgus, called also flatfoot or pes planus or planovalgus, is less frequent in congenital form than that which appears in adults. This constitutional type of flatfoot in the majority of cases is not pathologic. All infants have flat feet for a year or two after they begin to stand. Later on, this regress spontaneously till the age 8–10. Only a few cases need more aggressive treatment than wearing sole inlay. There are, however, cases where the deformation of the feet is so expressed that an operative correction is necessary (Figs. 20.1 and 20.2).
